New spending on infrastructure in British Columbia recently announced by The Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities will mean $73.3 million in funding from the federal Gas Tax Fund for 57 capital and capacity building projects in communities around the province. The approved capital projects will support the construction of a range of community infrastructure projects in 27 communities. The projects relate to drinking water (8), wastewater (4), recreational and cultural infrastructure (6), local roads and bridges (4), solid waste management (2), community energy systems (2) and a regional airport improvement project.
